Don't Panic |
There is a burgeoning business in fake 'sales' of pets with COVID, and the design and content of that site - buybostonterrierpuppies.net (with two 'r's ) : typos, grammatical mistakes, the use of "USD" in the prices, bendable-esque capitalizations.... - gets every red/yellow flag going. Either a scam, or a site run by someone achingly clueless...neither of which I'd look for in sourcing puppies.  | |||

If you have identified them as a likely source and they are just an hour away, I'd hop in my car and check it and the potential pups out myself. Recommendations are better than nothing, but there's nothing like seeing them yourself. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Yea that buybostonterriers was a scam. I wanted to go see them but Can’t see them until they are vaccinated. They are asking for $150 to hold puppy for me. Ask me to decide on a name so they can start calling it now. Hell if I lose the money I will cut back on beer. I blow that much on guns and such on a regular basis. | |||

I'd just avoid the flaky private rescue agencies and go to to the local pound / animal control.

Chip away the stone |
Not trying to change the OP's mind at all, but I wanna say, my experience with a local Boxer rescue was fine, and I got a great dog. I see a lot of people have had bad experiences w/rescues, but it's not always that way. | |||

Took a look at Abbott Kennels on Facebook. Pretty sure it’s a puppy mill. They have Boston Terrier puppies, but they also have about 4-5 other breeds available as well. Looking at where it’s located in Delta, OH....it’s in Fulton county Ohio which looks to have several large puppy mills and some smaller ones in that county. I would go with the post just before this one and use the breeder finder tool on that site. Usually breed specific sites like that will research breeders and only list ones that are reputable. | |||

When we were looking for a Siberian, we used the AKC Registered Breeder section to find a breeder and ended up with a wonderful little girl. | |||

Three on, one off |
We were in a similar situation recently, having lost our beloved pooch after 12 great years. One of the hardest losses of my life. We were set on buying a puppy of the same breed but on a whim we visited the local shelter. There were so many dogs there who need homes! We bonded almost instantly with one and adopted him that day. Meet Benny, a 10 year old labradoodle that was surrendered by his owner.  He is just a great dog! Housebroken, well trained and behaved, and just full of love. I don’t know how many years he has left, but we are going to give him as much love as he gives us. Consider adopting as an option. You might get lucky, even though the chances of finding a BT are slim to none. Maybe the process is easier here but it was a short questionnaire and two references who they called the same day. | |||

We have an Aussie after a lot of research. The legit breeders sell pet quality pure breeds for less than the mills sell questionable dogs. Our second one came from some nice people that realized they had made a mistake due to their age and just wanted to find a good home for him. He came from a top breeder and cost them about two grand and was listed on a rescue site for the owners. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
